Why are there are no Asian
American CEOs in San Francisco companies in the Chron200 list of the Bay Area’s
largest public corporations? Asian Americans comprise about a third of the
city’s population and are widely recognized as influential innovators and key
contributors in successful companies throughout the region. But few are
selected for the highest leadership roles.

Join a panel of San Francisco and Bay Area executives to
revisit the success of Asian Americans in the corporate world and openly
discuss the lack of success to reach the highest levels in the boardroom and
C-suite. What executive skills are required in large, complex business
organizations? What are companies doing to develop and retain their best
employees, especially their high-potential Asian leaders?
